I saw this at the Port Townsend Film Festival.
The film is mostly excellent but I thought the trickiness of setting the viewer up to think the central character was a mass killer when that did, in fact, not happen was gimmicky and not necessary to the story. As if the audience will only be interested in a shoot em up?
The story could be compellingly told without the tricks.
Otherwise the story is very uplifting and amazing.
That's all I have to say but this review requires more characters. Port Townsend's festival is very fine in a beautiful seaside town. Our festival features many shorts and documentaries.
